My daughter convinced me that I should volunteer my garden for the 2018 Newburyport Horticultural Society Member's Garden Tour. She has suggested it for several years and I always said, "It's not ready. Maybe next year." She made the very persuasive argument that I am all about process rather than product in my talks and workshops and that my waiting for the day that I felt my garden had achieved some sort of perfection was contrary to everything I believe. I don't consider myself a serious gardener—my art always comes first —but I have put a lot of effort into the garden since we moved here 33 years ago. As a matter of fact, the Spirit Books were inspired by a massive pruning we did in 1987. Since I'll be paying more attention to the garden than usual, I wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Come and explore the garden, have some refreshments, and visit my studio. Bring your friends. The more the merrier.For further information, contact me by email.
